The humble punch to the face is the most basic and most popular of all fighting techniques. So naturally this is one of the first questions martial arts instructors will get from their students, as a single punch can be life changing for the victim resulting in a broken jaw, nose, black eye and even death.
In this technique video the always colorful Master Wong of ‘Master Wong Wing Chun’ answers this very question to prevent you from getting your face rearranged on the street. Master Wong will go through how to use an effective defensive shell, getting off the center line of attack as well as how to transition from a defensive position to a superior clinch position and when to capitalize on openings left by your opponent.

About Master Wong:
Michael Wong originally came to England at the age of ten as a refugee from Vietnam. He first took up martial arts as a result of being bullied at school. Starting his training with a Chinese Master in the UK, Sifu Wong progressed quickly in skill and after 5 years traveled to Hong Kong and mainland China to study with a variety of Chinese masters in his early twenties.
Training in a wide variety of martial arts has given Sifu Wong a foundation and skill level rarely seen in the martial arts world. It also allows him to provide a highly comprehensive teaching program for a great many students with differing requirements. This eventually led to the opening of the Master Wong Academy at Charles Street in Ipswich, becoming one of only a handful of full-time training centers in the region.
